Energy Aware Self-Organized Communication in Complex Networks

无线传感器节点的大型网络是当前研究的一个众所周知的愿景。这个项目的想法是将self-x属性纳入这些网络中。因此，节点应该能够自主地（自组织）找到通过网络的最佳路由路径，它们还应该能够检测相邻节点中的故障并以自我维持和智能的方式（自我修复）做出反应。当然，这些self-x能力只需要少量的额外能量和少量的消息开销就可以实现。在运行期间，自组织传感器网络容易受到攻击。欺骗、破坏和间谍活动只是针对数据收集网络的一些可能的攻击。在一个没有准备好的网络中，攻击者很容易达到他们的恶意目标。因此，我们的目标是检查对传感器网络的攻击。我们将对不同的攻击策略及其对自组织网络结构的影响进行分类。因此，我们将研究活动扩展到可能的自我保护反应。我们的目标是检查攻击检测策略和可能的处理受感染的节点。

Large networks of wireless sensor nodes are a well-known vision of current research. The idea of this project is to incorporate self-x properties in those networks. Thereby, the nodes shall be enabled to find the best routing path through the network autonomously (self-organizing), they also shall be able to detect failures in adjacent nodes and react in a self-sustained and intelligent way (self-healing). Of course, these self-x abilities have to be achieved with only little additional amounts of energy and small message overhead. During runtime, a self-organizing sensor network is vulnerable to attacks. Spoofing, disorganization, and espionage are only some of the possible attacks against data collecting networks. In an unprepared network, attackers have easy game to achieve their malicious goals. Hence, we target the examination of attacks against sensor networks. We will classify different attack strategies and their impact to a self-organized network structure. Consequently, we extend our research activities to possible self-protecting reactions. We target to examine attack detection strategies and possible handling of infected nodes.
